Martin Murray vs Felix Sturm weigh in

[armin]

7-5 sturm for me. sorry whoever that british commentator is that was giving scores is a moron. how the f you going to make the 12th a 10-10 round, as your only even round, if you make that a 10-10 round you have to make half of the other rounds 10-10 which is fine if thats what ya did. felt almost like he did that so he'd have murray winning it by a point, when i felt that was one of the more clear rounds for sturm. their workrate in that round was about equal but felix was landing the quality, and if ya had doubt the last 10 seconds should have sealed it. Good fight and draw is ok.

I think you are reading into the commentary a bias that simply was not there. I'm not sure which commentator you are talking about but if it is former world lightweight champion Jim Watt then i think you are a bit wide of the mark calling him a moron. He is always very objective and made it quite clear that he thought Sturm would be too much for Murray at the start. Murray was not given a chance by anyone and held his own. I don't think you have to make half of the other rounds a 10-10 if that is how you score the 12th. Sturm finished that round strongly but Murray landed several combinations of real quality earlier and a 10-10 is ok. Ian Darke is not so objective but he had Sturm winning so i don't really know what you mean. Still great fight and it seems Sturms day's are numbered.

Ok your right calling him a moron is a bit harsh probably, I think I was just still vexed by the sound of his voice, bit annoying. To make the 12th round even is silly still imo when it wasn't even the closest round of the fight. Like I said tho good. Close fight and a draw is good and I'm sure sturm as always in close fights will ofer a rematch, that's one thing he can't be criticized for.

For the people that watched it, is Sturm slipping?

[hackey]

I think a little, but he didn't seem tired, more that he was going through the motions. Murray wanted it more. In saying that, I had a cheeky bet 4 rounds in on a draw at 40:1 so I was happy that Sturm gave the last round a good go, although I haven't seen the detailed scorecards yet.
